The duchess does have a male heir... which is why Ferdinand and the Cardinal were opposed to marry her off again. This prove that the relationship between Antonio and the Duchess was one of pure passion and emotions rather than one for an heir.
this is so helpful to help understand the pay for my A-level English Lit class :)

And of course thanks for sharing this video with us.... it's also interesting to note that Elizabethans or Jacobean were exploring the continental stories rather than confining themselves to England.

PotterGirl Do you have an exam on Monday? I do and I don’t think I’ve learned enough quotes yet 😅
Accurate as far as it goes (I'm amused by the speakers pronunciation of "awry") but let's remember that one of Webster's main purposes was to show us blood-and-guts as in the final mass carve-up, which topples over into the ludicrous. Basically, much of the play is Grand Guignol, a shocker - so let's not get too solemn about it.
Really glad I found this video. Thank you!

Is there any similarity Between duchess and any others character???
Well the obvious, she's a female that is constantly being controlled by men because of patriarchy. She is brave, just like Cariola, they both die at the hands of men
Please make a video on" The Quilt" by Ismat Chughtai.
Will try our best! Thank you for the request :-)
@@FirstRateTutors thank you 💖
thanks
You're welcome!
Really great video! However, I thought the play mentions that the Duchess has a son from her first marriage? :)
Yes, you're right she does!
@@FirstRateTutors How? How did she becomes the Duchess if her husband, the Duke had a child?
@@Oscar-vv6dn When she married her first husband, she receives his title, meaning that their child is the heir to her fortune.
The Cardinal and Ferdinand don't want the Duchess to marry again because they will lose their power over her, they are greedy, they only want the Duchess' heirs money and riches.
She boldly defies them by marrying a poor man, and bringing Antonio up to her status, she is punished for marrying for love, which was deemed selfish in the Jacobethan era.
After some hours I have exam and I'm watching this 🤣❤ btw thnks
Eileen Atkins the Dutchess of Malfi 1972
There is a little problem at the beginning of your video as the Duchess does have a son from her first mariage.
Great, thank you for clarifying!
Wait what ? Any proof?
In Duchess of Malfi how are female characters oppressed? Could someone please answer this for me and give me ideas.
TYSM
- malfi born in time where women held very conversation tasks such as doing household work and being at home mothers and religious society that deems almost everything nowadays taboo and didn't have word in almost everything as well. No power as men
-fact malfi had to hide her marriage from her brothers who were obviously classists and trying to not let her get married.
- malfi was murdered and so are her children for being children of Antonio a man lower class and obviously cause she got married
Julia and the idea of being free to say no. The cardinal threatens to ruin her with news of their affair and is generally manipulative and horrible to her (using the metaphor of a caged bird a lot)
English lit paper 2 tomorrow good luck 😎
We see there's both complexity in the presentation of evil and some stereotypes are also put aside...and still Webster doesn't rank with Shakespeare as far as I know...what does Webster lack that Shakespeare abounds in?
Dushes
Are there a novel who the hero/ine breaks the gender norms? I really need one to my assigment to analyze, and it has be a novel
And all this while I've been paying for college, all for nothing.
English lit paper 2 tomorrow good luck 😎
